Re: Anyone Know How Much Longer Furthur Will Go On? |
'95 was better than '09 The Dead
...although '09 did get progressively better as the tour wore on, but still

Re: Anyone Know How Much Longer Furthur Will Go On? |
Even, a limping, busted up Jerry is better that anyone else, but this is no offense to Warren etc., it's just there was only one Garcia . Now there are things they have dome in the post Jerry bands, that make you think, Damn, why couldn't they have done this with Garcai "! . Some of my reservations as pertaining to the 09 Dead", has to do with, not just the "No Jerry" factor, but the , usual 2 drummers problems , and a general lack of energy . My favorite comment about one of the shows was."Man , these guys need to drink 5 Red Bulls each, before the concert ". I don't mind slow ( big 76 fan), but they sounded thick, and sluggish, sometimes .
In contrast, Phil with Molo never sound that way . I think if you compare "Futhur" with the other post big guy groupings, they come out pretty good .
And "in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king ".

I have heard as much and hope to experience it first-hand even though I said after G'boro '09 that I would never see another GD reunion group. I think Furthur will have a hard time topping '02 TOO though. That tour was magical...at least the Roanoke opener was.

Re: Anyone Know How Much Longer Furthur Will Go On? |
I'm going to give that Roanoke show a listen since I never have before. Doesn't seem to have got a lot of attention on the Archive - no reviews, not many downloads - but that doesn't necessarily count for much.
By the way, while I'm here just how many gtrs have you actually clkted?
:-)

Re: Anyone Know How Much Longer Furthur Will Go On? |
rob I hope you will find the magic in that Roanoke show
I will admit there were several "outside" factors that contributed to the magic for me, but Jerry was in that coliseum with "the boys" that night. And having R.Hunter do a set between TOO's sets didn't hurt.
well, "gtrs'(and other stringed instruments)I have 15 of varying ages, state of repair and collectiblity
6 acoustic(6 string, 12 string and Hawaiian)
3 electric(6 string only)
3 bass(4 string...is there any other "real" bass?)
2 ukulele(soprano)
1 banjo(5 string)
jonesing hard for my first mandolin
also assorted
penny whistles
native flutes
kazoo
keyboard
and a "toy" drum machine(my grandson left it for me to play with)

Bill - I'm sorry I failed to respond to you - got tied up in off-forum aka 'real life' stuff, but just wanted you to know that I appreciated you taking the time to tell me about your collection. All I have myself is an acoustic twelve string and an electric six (used to have an acoustic six but it left this world in the course of a domestic realignment...) Hope you're giving all your instruments a regular workout!

Re: Anyone Know How Much Longer Furthur Will Go On? |
no worries
life has a way of bringing us back to reality when we least expect it
unfortunately not much of "the collection" gets regular exercise
lately I've been concentrating on uke
